We decided to have a baseball themed party for my son's 8th birthday.  We had his guests meet at our house. As we waited for all the boys to arrive we had a bubble gum blowing contest(Bazooka), a sunflower seed spitting contest - the farther the better, and memory game where an assortment of  20 items are placed on a platter. The guests have one minute to look them over then they need to remember and write down as many as they can in 3 minutes. After all the boys had arrived another mother and I took them to see a baseball themed movie. We had a baseball diamond shaped cake as he opened gifts. Each guest received either Babe Ruth Candy bars, big league chew, or baseball cards. It was quite a success!!  Especially the seed spitting contest.
